Things don't always go as planned

Tuesday night there was an accident at Grandma's house, our office at Higley and Elliot. Fortunately no one was hurt. Also, none of our team was involved. But one car clipped another , which took out the fence, rose bushes and POWER BOX for the office.

This actually damaged the box on the side of the office, because the big copper wires that feed the house are firmly attached at each end, and when the box moved, so did parts in the power meter. That is a repair that will take several days. So we have minimal power with extension cords from the other house. Sort of like camping. This is a good time of year to be camping in Gilbert. Here is another photo of the damage.












This is "a pain" for us, but more so for the families of the drivers. They both happened to be young. It is hard for them to project the consequences of their actions on a gut level. The kind that would make them drive defensively, say. So, as an old person, and quoting an old TV show, "Let's be careful out there!"
